Tracks - Leading from the past to the future

Good Morning. 

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and starts out refreshed into this new week full of possibilities.

Chris has been to Leipzig during the last week, so we took the time to take new pictures, ponder some ideas and go for a few bike tours together. It was a fantastic week. 

So how was yours? What did you do?

Since I'm preparing my own company I've started to take a different kind of pictures. It is interesting how my photography changes with my moods and goals. In any case I am currently totally into macro photography.

A good start into the new week

Enjoy this new week and make the best of it.

Life is crazy beautiful

Saturday Morning, at 7 AM, I woke up to see these balloons flying by my window quite fast. Life is indeed crazy beautiful.

Have a great new week, with lots of magical moments.

The poodle is regarded as the second most intelligent breed of dog after the Border Collie...

When I look at the photo... I don't think so.

Keep Japan in Mind - Friday

In times like these, things happen fast and the things that happened a few weeks ago are forgotten. To keep Japan and its citizens struggles in our minds, I had the idea of the "Keep Japan in Mind - Friday". The idea is pretty easy I will post pictures of things that I associate with Japan. I'd love it, when you would join in the fun. Fun being the operating word in this case.

For this week I choose:

Sake set. I bought this set last year in June when I prepared a dinner for Chris and me. I bought the sake first and then this set because I thought it would be fun to drink the stuff in the "real" japanese way. I didn't like the sake we had, so now the set is just lying unused in its box, waiting for the time when I meet my significant other (who will be either japanese or south-korean. *grin*).

Best of luck to all the Japanese citizens, who lost so much on March 11th. You will make it.

Whitecube - photographic fun

On May 1st, Chris and I (San), took part in a fun photography/art experiment called "WhiteCube Photobox" in Leipzigs "Spinnerei" during the Spring Open Day.

WhiteCube is a project invented by four friends, Butow and Kata Maler, Nina Müller and Ragnar Gischas. The intention of WhiteCube is to bring people into contact with art and the creation of art by themselves. How does it work? Well, there is a closed off room with three accessories per event and a camera which is released by remote control from outside the room. The person(s)/artist(s) can use the provided accessories or some that they have on them, to express themselves in their very own way, without being observed or influenced by the photographer. As a matter of fact, the photographer will see pictures only after the day/event is over and then the pics will be published in the "WhiteCube Galerie".

Chris and I went into the room alone first. Funny thing, I consider myself quite creative, but when I was alone in the room nothing came to my mind. Being creative under pressure without much room to move is actually quite hard for me. Chris found it equally hard to come up with something. Anyway, we created our pics and left to visit the open galleries. Want to see our "Stand - Alone - Pictures"? You find them here: http://whitecube.kulturszene.info/index.php?M,3,R,9 See if you can find us. The pics of the other people are astonishing, especially the little girl is amazing.

While walking through the galleries, Chris and I talked about our WhiteCube experience and we came up with some ideas for doing this together. So we went back and here they are:

The accessories of May 1st were: the guitar, the puppet arms and the chair. Since Chris and I are photographers, we naturally had our cameras with us. ;-)

We certainly had fun doing this together. In case you want to do this too, you definitely have the chance to do so, the next dates for this are:

21. Mai 2011, Underdock, Bremen
Never Mind The Mainstram - Here's The Underdock
[www.club-underdock.com]

01. August 2011, Entwicklungsraum, Osnabrück
Eröffnung der Galerie Entwicklungsraum
[www.entwicklungsraum-bildkunst.de]

Thanks to Nina and Ragnar for taking our pictures on May 1st and sending them to us.

By the way Nina and Ragnar are opening their very own photography gallery "Entwicklungsraum" on August 1st in Osnabrück.

For this week I choose:

Manga. These two mags are on "How to draw Manga", because last year I thought it would be fun to draw some characters. Well, duh, I learned my lesson, I'm definitely more into drawing typography and abstract stuff.

Best of luck to all the Japanese citizens, who lost so much on March 11th. You will make it.

The Lone Ride

Took this at my last trip to the Darss, at the end of March. Can't believe it's already been a month.
